NEW YORK POST — FBI Director Christopher Wray has lost the confidence of rank-and-file FBI agents after a senior bureau official left under a cloud of accusations that he shielded Hunter Biden’s laptop from a criminal probe — and some believe the top G-man should step down, a new report says....

PROJECT VERITAS — Project Veritas released the first video in its newly launched Education Series today exposing a senior official at a prominent public school.

ART MOORE — Amid the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's slow-rolling of data on the risks of the COVID-19 vaccines, the British government is recommending against pregnant and breastfeeding women receiving the shots. An update of the U.K. health department's "Summary of the Public Assessment Report for COVID-19 Vaccine Pfizer/BioNTech" states that because of the rapid development of the vaccine, there is an "absence of reproductive toxicity data," the National Pulse reported....

NEW YORK POST — A top FBI agent at the Washington field office reportedly resigned from his post last week after facing intense scrutiny over allegations he helped shield Hunter Biden from criminal investigations into his laptop and business dealings. Timothy Thibault, an FBI assistant special agent in charge, was allegedly forced out after he was accused of political bias in his handling of probes involving President Biden’s son, sources told the Washington Times on Monday....

JUST THE NEWS — Former President Donald Trump's attorney said Tuesday that the former president will likely challenge the legality of the FBI's search of his home based on the Fourth Amendment. AlinaHabba spoke on "The Sean Hannity Show" alongside Just the News Editor-in-Chief John Solomon. Host Sean Hannity asked Habba about the former president's legal path forward in the ongoing case surrounding his possession of government documents at his Florida estate.... (more)

MARGOT CLEVELAND — Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s admission last week that the FBI pushed the social media giant to censor Russian misinformation — and thus the Hunter Biden laptop story, as that’s how the agency and Democrats characterized it — shortly before the November 2020 election is but a breadcrumb of a bigger scandal: the widespread interference by the FBI in the 2020 presidential election with the potential that the bureau coordinated its efforts with the Biden campaign....

ART MOORE — The IRS official chosen to lead the new "centralized office" featuring the nearly 87,000 new employees funded in President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act was involved in the agency's targeting of conservative groups that opposed Barack Obama's reelection in 2012. Nikole Flax served as the chief of staff for then acting IRS Commissioner Stephen Miller, who was fired amid a cover-up of the scandal.... (more)

TOWNHALL — Despite being told that elections were safe, secure and beyond corruption, President Joe Biden just said the quiet part aloud, making the Democrat party want to go into hiding once again. Last week, Biden told a group of rally goers that Democrats have a plan in place to “make sure no one, no one, ever has the opportunity to steal an election again.”... (more)

THE FEDERALIST — The Mar-a-Lago search warrant is interesting not only because of the high office of the individual whose papers were seized but also because of the low office of the person who signed it. The warrant illustrates the longstanding constitutional anomaly of letting magistrate judges sign search warrants. Leave aside how you feel about the former president. Leave aside what you think of January 6, 2021. Leave aside whether there was a good reason to issue the warrant. A more basic question is whether the Hon. Bruce Reinhart could constitutionally issue it.... (more)

BOB UNRUH — Hillary Clinton, back in 2016 during her second failed campaign for president, lashed out angrily at conservatives and those with traditional values in America. At an event in New York to collect cash for Democrats in the campaign, she said, "You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic – you name it."... (more)

JUST THE NEWS — PragerU founder Dennis Prager says the problem with Republican candidates is that they campaign against their opponents, but not against the left and its ideology. Asked what fundamental question voters should think about when they go to the polls, Prager responded: "Do you want to be governed by the left or not?"... (more)

PJ MEDIA — A sarcastic new ad being rolled out nationwide captures the unfairness of Joe Biden’s executive order that forces hardworking, responsible Americans to assume the student loan debt of college grads. “This is awful policy and there’s real resentment brewing,” said Dan Conston, president of the American Action Network (AAN), the non-profit behind the ad. “Working Americans shouldn’t have to foot the bill for a handout to coddled elite college graduates who don’t like having to pay what they owe.”...

PJ MEDIA — Organizers of a woke podcasting convention would have sent a trigger warning to their conventioneers if they’d only known that he was coming. Even assuming trigger warnings work, which they don’t, as a new study or any parent of a toddler can tell you, nothing could have prepared the attendees of the “Podcast Movement” convention in Texas for the loosing of an animal so dangerous and so contemptible that they may never get over the “pain” of witnessing it. Indeed, so dangerous was this animal, who had been allowed to roam freely and breathe their air, that woke conventioneers moved to immediately leash and lock it up like he was Peter Navarro or something....

LIFE SITE NEWS — Rembert G. Weakland, archbishop of Milwaukee from 1977 to 2002, icon of the liberal Church, and the most disastrous American bishop of his time, died at age 95, the Archdiocese of Milwaukee announced Monday. A theological dissident, practicing homosexual, radical liturgical revolutionary, and indefensible enabler of predatory priests, Weakland embodied the kind of failed episcopal leadership that has morally and financially bankrupted the Church in much of the Western world since the Second Vatican Council....

TOWNHALL — After days of waiting and a flurry of motions from the Department of Justice attempting to keep the affidavit used in the FBI's raid of Mar-a-Lago sealed indefinitely, a redacted affidavit was finally released on Friday afternoon just before the 12:00 p.m. ET deadline set by federal Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart. There was such a rush to view the affidavit, however, that the government's website where federal court records are posted completely crashed for nearly 30 minutes.... (more)

TRISTAN JUSTICE — Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted that Facebook algorithmically suppressed stories about Hunter Biden’s laptop during the 2020 election at the request of the FBI weeks before the November contest. Speaking on Joe Rogan’s podcast on Thursday, Zuckerberg said the FBI approached employees at the tech giant to warn that the laptop was a vehicle of Russian interference.... (more)

NEW YORK POST — Nearly four of five Americans who’ve been following the Hunter Biden laptop scandal believe that “truthful” coverage would have changed the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, according to a new poll. A similar percentage also said they’re convinced that information on the computer is real, with just 11% saying they thought it was “created by Russia,” according to the survey conducted by the New Jersey-based Technometrica Institute of Policy and Politics....

JERRY NEWCOMBE — Is God making a comeback in some of the public schools of Texas? A news item last week gives a glimmer of hope that it may be so. 60 years ago this summer, the Supreme Court effectively banished God from the public schools. They did this in the first anti-school prayer case.... (more)

BREITBART — Thursday, during an appearance on Hugh Hewitt’s nationally syndicated radio show, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) criticized President Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness proposal. The Florida governor said not only was it a policy “disaster” in that it threatened to make economic problems worse, but he predicted it would be a political “disaster” because of the public’s reaction....

NEWSMAX — A former president's right under the Presidential Records Act trumps the statutes the FBI cited to justify the Mar-a-Lago search, David Rivkin Jr. and Lee Casey argued in an opinion piece in The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday. The two constitutional lawyers, who served at the Department of Justice and the White House Counsel's Office in the Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations, stressed that the warrant used to search former President Donald Trump's residence suggests that ''the FBI had no legally valid cause for the raid.''... (more)

JOSEPH FARAH — The Twitter board is, indeed, covering up its "extreme, egregious deficiencies," and executives have no idea how many bots are actually on the platform, claims a whistleblower. So, Elon Musk’s suspicions are right after all. But it's much bigger than that. Hear me out. Twitter is little more than a disinformation front posing as an honest, consumer-driven social media site.... (more)

MICHELLE MALKIN — Here's the thing about Mitch McConnell and Elaine Chao. The granddaddy of Republican Beltway barnacles has inhabited the nation's capital in one form or another since 1968, when he worked as a Senate legislative aide. His wife, the daughter of a Beijing-kowtowing shipping mogul, snagged her first job in 1983 as a White House fellow under the Reagan administration. For a half-century, this Swamp duo has done out in the great wide open what Swamp things do: Grift. Rinse. Repeat.... (more)
